Hallo. thx for your work.
Does Bento work on a Mac Ibook from 2002? (poerpc 3)iBook G3/700 14-Inch (16 VRAM – Tr) 700 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3)
Disc. November 6, 2002
Order M8603LL/A Model A1007 (EMC 1924)
Family 14.1 LCD 16 VRAM ID PowerBook4,3
RAM 256 MB VRAM 16 MB
Storage 30.0 GB Optical 8X “Combo Drive”
Complete iBook G3/700 14-Inch (16 VRAM – Tr) SpecsMerci en avance pour votre aide 🙂
in less than a month I will have that machine and I would like to install linux on it.
As far as I could understand, starting from Jessie, Debian don’t support anymore that kind of processor, the latest one being debian 7.Kind regards

I don’t have experience yet with Mac computers so I would be unable to answer that. I fear you will have to try booting a thumbdrive and see for yourself.
However I fear even more PowerPC CPUs need specificly adapted software.
I found a few leads for your PPC :

a few leads for your PPC :
The first thing I thought was a lead for me? 🙂
Now seriously, I liked your system, when I tested the previous version, a while ago… Still not enought to jump ship from antiX 🙂
@melodie- A bit off topic:
I do think antiX requires a few tweaks to be more user friendly, mainly to folks coming from other OS… Sice I didn not want to create a new derived OS, I went the path of the “Transformation Pack” and so ft10-transformation was born- feel free to install the package and comment- I would appreciate comments from a fellow tinkererP.

LOL! Have you taken your nick from the PowerPC Apple branded computers?
“ft10-transformation” ? If it is in the repos, I will look at it. I am not creating a derived OS, just spinoffs.@melodie- no, my nick are my initials 🙂 I never owned any apple device!
And yes ft10-transformation is in the repos – if you are interested in including any of it in Bento, the source code is available over at FT10’s gitlab: http://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/ft10-transformation/-/blob/main/README.md
I like that you include “Gnome software” in Bento – I thought about adding a Software installer to FT10 out of the box, to make life easier for ex-windows users, but I thought having Package Installer + synaptic + another Software installer would be over kill. I like the way that MX included flatpak’s in the Package Installer (although I’m not a fan of this universal package- it installed over a 1gb of dependencies just to install Foliate (book reader) flakpak- and the resulting Foliate app can’t even open files ).
Also, FT10 includes some nice little extras that you may like to adapt and include in Bento ( Weather, News, a basic Calendar that allows to add events, World Clock (in CLI and GUI modes) , Multi-timer, Alarm, Debinstaller, Cloud and Translator)Colonel Panic
Hi there,
Just want to say that I downloaded Bento (64-bit AntiX edition) last week and it’s still very usable (and looks very cheerful as well with the bright colours). I’ve added a couple of additional programs for my own use such as the Neovim text editor and the Pale Moon browser (the GTK2 edition).
Thanks once again,
CP .

Hi CP,
This is lovely! I am glad it works well for you! Thank you for your feedback!
A pair of months ago I tried to upgrade one of them to the next version, but I have been unable to succeed, and was forced to leave it, lacking time to investigate and come ask for help. Your post just might have given me the courage I need to dive into it again : I’ll think about doing so at some point before the end of the year maybe.
You’re welcome. Bento has a lot going for it; apart from its good looks,
it’s based on AntiX 19, which is a proven distro, it also uses OpenBox
which is my favourite standalone window manager, and it has an older
version of Thunderbird (I don’t like Supernova, which is used on more
recent versions but which I find a complete mess and very hard to make any
sense out of).Just one more thing though;
Don’t be disappointed if you see me talking about other distros on here,
or even other flavours of AntiX; I’ve got a big hard drive (500 GB) and so
have plenty of room to experiment and try out different distros in. This
computer also came with Mint so it makes sense to keep it on there and use
it.(I’m also a big OpenSUSE Leap user but don’t tell anyone else on here that
🙂 ).melodie
Just one more thing though;

I have also had my multi-boot period, which lasted several years, and a distro hopper too! It’s nice to have you as a fan of the Bento editions!
